By 1917, you couldn't buy a lot with just one penny: one popular item was penny candy, and many candy stores had jars of it; there were also a few toys that still cost a penny. And you could still mail a post card for one cent. But although there were fewer things that cost one cent, there were some that you could buy for two or three pennies. Many newspapers in 1917 cost two cents (some had begun raising their rates from one cent to two cents as paper became more expensive); postage stamps were also generally two cents. And if you could come up with five pennies (or a nickel), you could see a movie-- although not in the best seats.
Northerners were angry,because this would cause people to buy goods from other countries.
A first class US postage stamp typically costs $0.44. If the postage rate changes, usually by a cent or two, you can buy stamps that cost $0.01 or $0.02 to make up the diffference.
20011 would be a long time to collect! But if you mean from 1975-2011, it is fairly cheap to complete (so long as you exclude proof coins). Simply buy the album for about $5, then buy a box of pennies at your bank, they contain $25 worth of pennies in them and as long as you call ahead nearly every bank will have them. Simply open up the rolls and place them in your album, all of the ones from 1975-2011 are easily found in circulation (and just worth 1 cent) and chances are you could complete the majority if not all of it, from circulation.
8000 silver dollars...
with one cent someone could buy 5-10 pieces of gum.
The answer will depend on 2 what!
5 cents You could buy individually wrapped Bubble Gum for 1 cent And hey linzi!
For $1 you could buy 8 feet. For 1 cent, you could buy 0.96 inches.
No, but you could buy some 5 cent stamps and make the current 44 cent rate.

If you have lost a coin collection, we will probably not be of much help. If you are looking to buy one, you could advertise on eBay or visit a local coin dealer.
fifty cents dummy
It depends on the type of cent and the type of person whom you're buying it from. For example, the 1856 "Flying Eagle" one-cent piece in mint condition is worth about $50,000. With that one-cent piece, you could buy a beach front condo in Ecuador, as shown in the link below. Also, if the person whose selling the property is of a gullible nature, you could probably convince them to sell to you at that price, assuming your story was good enough. I've linked a how-to guide to help you do this.
If they really cost only one cent and there is no tax involved, you could buy 150. One dollar equals 100 cents, and .50 means 50 cents.
9 cent?.. nothing.
454 with 24 cents left over.
